The 403rd Wing now has its own mobile application in U.S. Air Force Connect, the official app of the U.S. Air Force.

U.S. Air Force Connect is an Air Force-wide mobile app that centralizes and increases access to information Airmen need for their careers.

“The Common Access Card-enabled application can be used on the go from a personal mobile device and it consolidates multiple resources in a single location, making it more convenient for users to access Air Force, Air Force Reserve, and Wing resources, information and news,” said Lt. Col. Marnee A.C. Losurdo, 403rd Wing Public Affairs.

Wing personnel are encouraged to download the application and add the wing’s sub-app to their favorites. Wing personnel can download the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play and select the 403rd Wing when prompted to add favorites. Once selected, users can swipe left from the USAF Connect home screen to see the wing’s site. Users can favorite up to 10 organizations.

Top features in the 403rd Wing sub-app include:

* Wing general information and contacts
